Color code-question

[fablux]

Hi!

The 19th the Chimaera will go in for a little paintjob-repair, and we could not find the right color code.
The handbook just calls the color "Schwartz", and after having checked the old posts about codes I can't find anything like that.
Does anyone know where to find these?
It's a '96 if that helps.

The colour code should be on the plate in the engine bay on the drivers side. BUT I am told by my paintman that the codes rarely match the actual paintwork because TVR used to modify them to ensure one only got touch up paints from TVR. A decent painshop will work from the published code and do compare test panels. Sadly not cheap.

I also read that before I went there.
Sadly we checked with the numbers in the engine-bay, and did not get up the right color..
It is a black color with some pearl-shine in it.

Thanks,
The search continues!

Just found your paint list wiki, and it says stardust silver, BMW code 309, however BMW call it artic silver. Is this right?

Just want to thank you guys and Malcolm for helping me get the right paint.
Still haven't got the car back from the paint-shop, but since they haven't called I'm guessing it was the right color.
